Telangana Food Safety Department Raided Restaurants In Gachibowli

A task force team of the Telangana food safety department inspected three restaurants in the Gachibowli area on August 17. From the names of the places to everything they discovered, the Commissioner of Food Safety, Telangana shared all important information on the X platform.

The task force team headed to Hoy Punjab on Saturday and conducted a raid. During the investigation process, the officials discovered that the restaurant staff cooked veg biryani the previous day and stored it. Also, they found overused oil with a greasy appearance. The team discarded both the veg biryani and the oil. They also seized 330 bottles of customised drinking water supplied by Jalousie Industries as the TDS levels (39 ppm) were very low.

Hoy Punjab staff could not provide the medical fitness certificates of food handlers. In addition to all these, there were no water analysis reports for RO water provided to customers. Lastly, the task force team discovered that the storeroom was narrow without proper ventilation.
